In 18 years of watching Alty,I've seen 6 managers (King,Taylor,Ward,Heathcote,McKenna and Sinnott). I don't know if I could pick a best and worst out of them, all have strengths and weaknesses.

As for Sinnott being up there/on his way as one of the worst, people seem to have short memories. Yes, the defense situation has been farcical this season, but at times this season I have seen us play some of our best football for many years. I'm not saying he will become an Alty legend,but I wouldn't say he is the worst manager this club has had.

Best has to be Tony Sanders that I know of.

Worst has to be Stan Allen - 13 consecutive defeats and I went to every one. Glad there was no forum then..

Based on my 20 years Heathcote (yes really, a good assistant especially) and the worst Kilkline who just couldn't be arsed. As for Mark Ward he got it wrong playing football in a swamp.

Brian Kilcline was joint coach with Nigel Gleghorn for the brief time he was with us. He was never our manager or assistant manager.

Although Tommy Docherty appeared to be a poor manager in his time here, it shouldn't be forgotten that he was reponsible for the sell-on clause in the Paul Edwards transfer that made the club a lot of money.

best - Pye/Sanders

worst - Sinnott/Williams
To say that Sinnott is one of our worst ever managers after this long is completely ridiculous

Nasha, Kilcline and Gleghorn were so bad you've wiped them from memory!

As mentioned before Kilcline and Gleghorn were never managers. They were fist team coaches under Bernard Taylor.

Actually Phil it was the Secretary of Crewe who asked us whether we'd forgotten the sell on clause. Mr Docherty was reportedly on a speaking engagement on Scotland at the time

I agree that our defence has been a disgrace this season BUT our forward line has been absolutely brilliant, and we have played some fantastic football.

Sinnott can rightly be called for being unable to find non-calamity defenders, but the signings of James Lawrie and Jack Redshaw were first class.

Sinnott worst manager? Ridiculous. On the whole I have enjoyed this season and how anyone can say it has been worse than those dark days of the Unibond I'll never understand.

Maybe not our best manager, but I always felt Gerry Quinn's contribution (especially in his first season) was a little underrated. He not only got us to the FA Cup second round but the team he assembled contained a good few players who served the club well over many seasons.
